the german catholic church presses charges against pussy riot copycats who disrupted a service in the close cathedral and could now these an even longer jail sentence than the inspire it's. also this hour brand new tool to between term iran and the u. ons atomic or stop come to nothing i mean he is within iran giving its assistance to the agency will come at a high price. america is rally to equip all schools and declare embassies diplomatic colleagues weren't leaving britain red faced but still no less desperate for julian our son.

this is our see you coming here live from moscow hello and welcome to the world around three years behind bars dancehall german coal because of the infamous prissie riots punk bands may get for schooling colognes cathedral slapped with a sentence the punishment would be even greater than that handed down to the russian trio they were imitating and germany faces a dilemma now being among the states which rush to condemn last week's verdict as archie's piece in all of a ports. two men and one woman all in their early twenty's they interrupted a mass service that was taking place in cologne chanting free pussy riot decked out in the the garish balaklava some brightly colored clothes that have become synonymous with the the russian punk rock collective calling for these three people calling for the freedom of the three women that were sentenced to two years in jail for hooliganism motivated by religious hatred another group pussy riot had performed

a so-called punk rock prayer in russia's main cathedral which offended many orthodox christian believers now the catholic church of press charges against the three people here in germany and we're waiting to find out exactly what they will be charged with now they could be charged with a breach of the peace and disrupting the free practice of religion the a lot of those charges brings with it a maximum penalty of three years in prison so physically these people taking part in the copycat version of the pussy riot demonstration could actually find themselves being sentenced to more time in prison than the people that they were trying to emulate but it's all very interesting that this is happening here in germany germany of course was one of those countries that was particularly critical of moscow's handling of the pussy riot trial in russia now it seems that germany is facing a similar type of situation itself where by three people could face up to three years in jail for performing a demonstration a political demonstration in a church. the public action towards the incident in cologne right from the streets

of germany something piece of all of it describes and his twitter stream and he says many agree that performance by the police or riot copycat catholic cathedral was an acceptable and. desired punishment and of course more news in brief is also available at his general twitter stream pretty. neat. latest attempts to resolve a deadlock in the iranian nuclear crisis has drawn a blank the u.n. nuclear agency fails to strike a deal with term ran which could wipe out western concerns over suspected atomic weapons activities by the islamic state and reza marashi it from the national iranian american council believes the issue is more about the actual conflict

between the u.s. and iran i think it's important for our talks to happen on multiple levels it is important for iran to continue with cooperation and dialogue with the i.a.e.a. it's also important for iran and the permanent members of the security council plus germany to continue their discussions which unfortunately have come to a stance double the most important thing that has not yet happened is a direct bilateral u.s. around channel of communication we haven't seen something like this in over three decades because what the united states after mike's to portray as a conflict between the international community and iran really is more or less a bilateral conflict between the two countries and then you have the rest of the world taking sides or trying to stay out of it or at best so until that kind of direct channel can can be opened up and be kept out of public views of the spoilers can't muck up the process i think we're going to continue to see more of the same. the international atomic editor age energy agency seeking access to a military base near to run and to scientists working on the iranian nuclear program and gareth porter a journalist and analyst on the u.s.

foreign policy says iran wants to know the end game before its heels to the agency's demands. the idea is following a general strike a script or a strategy that is clearly determined by the major powers primarily the united states which is to keep iran on the defensive in order to do that of course to keep the idea uppermost in the in the headlines are covering this issue of the iranian nuclear program that the iranians are unwilling to cooperate with the i.a.e.a. the issue here is not whether iran is willing to allow the agency to come to look at this site that has been requested by the agency but rather whether the agency is willing to agree to a set of principles governing the broader set of issues surrounding the

cooperation between iran and the agency and this is primarily a question of whether iran will be allowed to have an exit from the process of being examined or investigated by the i.a.e.a. the i basically does not want to have any sort of end point to the process even if the iranians cooperate fully. iran's relations with russia have solid overlays office in moscow council to contract to deliver an advanced defense system of the three hundred ten rounds anger at the deal was torn out following the us the cares of councils arms and bongo russia meanwhile has been developing a project faster with an even more sophisticated version of the weapon as it's going to. seek and destroy. planes helicopters and even you name it the f. four hundred triumph can locate and hunt down almost any flying target. first the

target is spotted and identified then the system starts monitoring it all following its course then the command makes the call to either eliminate the target or not after getting the green light the system opens fire one of the strong suits of the system is a small billet and it can literally create full scale air defense anywhere on the ground within minutes. of course preparation takes now more than five minutes and everything's done by three people one officer and two conscripting soldiers. the system can shoot down an object as small as a soccer ball even if they're flying at supersonic speeds ejaz one hundred system consists of several elements one radar which monitors the skies looking for targets a second one which follows specific targets a command and the launcher itself or the gun as it's called here in the army combines the elements of the system can follow up to three hundred targets flying

from was lowered just a few feet above the ground and up to nearly fourteen miles high in the skies just pretty much around six times higher than the average passenger jet. the first as four hundred systems are already in service and along with the older ass three hundred and bonser s. protect the skies over moscow st petersburg and the central industrial region of russia it is planned that the ass four hundred will completely replace the s three hundred its production has already been and it is the least yes three hundred is capable of intercepting targets not higher than thirty kilometers which isn't enough since we're only covering a small area but when the altitude capacity is raised we can protect larger territories. analysts say the recent conflicts in libya and other parts of the world have shown how vital it is to have reliable defense not only from threats from the skies but from space also and this is what the s four hundred was designed to do it can locate targets nearly six hundred kilometers away. there's

a firing range of up to four hundred kilometers that's around five times more than its western analog the patriot there are no plans for exporting it just yet giving russia chance for an unprecedented advantage against any threat from the skies for at least the next twenty years you've got it is going all of our d. southern russia. coming up this hour how the labels made in gaza all who was buying are not likely to make much money palestinians claim these radio creation of their land and trade embargo is leaving them with no one to sell to it. also don't dies with the army's greenpeace activists installed a russian oil rig in protest over drilling for oil in the august sixth. that's coming up later for you but right now there's been a huge boost of support for ecuador after the entirety of the americas through their weight behind kato in its condemnation of british threats to storm its

embassy in london in a blow to the united kingdom the organization of america stays a declares that embassies are indeed inviolable other tools and smooth sailing with the u.s. and canada both staunch british allies demanding amendments to the final statement that claims that britain wasn't sweating to raid ecuador's embassy just pointing out that it could and that according to attorney and aussies punished ever got injured demonstrates how divided the organization of american states. the united states in canada had actually opposed the convening of this meeting in the first place and so the maintain those positions throughout the meeting whereas the rest of latin america only group b. and were first was a meeting and found it important to talk about and debate this issue that's affecting one of the members do you know the act in accordance with threats against one of their member states or when some issues are it's disturbing regional.

players who don't like the americans standing together to show in unity that they absolutely will not let any other nation and as powerful as i mean even close their agenda or their will. and i think again it was that story was first of the relevance of the organization of american states today as an industry that includes the u.s. and canada and clearly there are ads with the rest of latin america and the groovy . and i quote all this president as welcome to the says final statement saying aid demonstrated latin american solidarity correct spoke exclusively to ask the spanish on our side that i quote only yet have to pay a price for backing. its volunteers coming at eight thirty g.m.t. for you but his approval. normally such a decision shouldn't have any consequences that is if all countries respect international law which clearly says that the state has the right to grant asylum how many times has sweden granted asylum but unfortunately in this particular case

we see that some countries are displaying their colonial and imperial ambitions there at this interesting it turns out that if ecuador granted asylum to someone cause it certainly might have consequences there is definitely no but let's face it some leader might be reprisals which would be terrible if the u.k. for example the practice on these routes and invades our embassy to risk the sound you mention how big of a precedent this would set. greece is on the final slagel dates of the last leg rather its p.r. blitz in europe with its prime minister meeting the french leader later today in hopes of convincing him to cut our friends some financial slack on friday and today some marist met with german chancellor angela merkel. athens would always bail out commitments and keep cutting some members of own government less sure and increasingly speculating about

a possible greek exit from the euro zone however says it will do all it takes to stay in the car is a blog that says it needs a breathing room to a whole raising economy in a raging economy asset management specialist philip form drowned believes that's a long shot greece is bankrupt i think there's no discussion about that today and two or three years ago even with the hardest possible were a lot of cart. horse. greece won't be able to pay the huge amount of. load into the. hole the only one way of rescue. competitiveness in greece and this is the exit from the eurozone. politicians always argue there are enormous costs in war with the exit of greece that's perfectly right but what is the amount of costs of greece staying within the euro

zone. a very small side of relief and verse on the way new numbers show the economy has actually tongues less than predicted but the very find that the country is in recession is telling according to the kaiser report coming up at nine thirty g.m.t. marks and stacy have all the latest from the world of finance. happens when the government throws money to the oligarchs in the novel as the oil companies and the bankers because when they stop giving them money they can pull the old atlas shrugged that we like. you know we're not going to work anymore we're in a gatekeeper position we're wedged into the economy if you don't give us more money we're call systemic collapse which is ridiculous because the government if they want to give away money they should give it away to the entrepreneurs if you give it away to the consumers it is a consumer economy after all why not help the consumers know that never go to georgia or yahoo asks for you know brand of camera georgie porgie in his

bubble and for putting. his or a seizure of palestinian land brings with it as an extra of a harsh economic blockade any products made there are not only prevented from making their way to the outside world but they're kept from the israeli market as well as here takes a closer look at the whole shapes of palestinian farmers and produces. this tiny bottle of olive oil is at the heart of an economic battle it may be small and expensive but it's one of those products that defines where people stand in the ideological battle field of the middle east from palestine to europe and beyond each purchase is seen as a shot in an economic block through other people are not sufficiently aware that israeli settlement products are competing with palestinian products abroad so when we tell the customer that there's a difference between settlement products and israeli products and from you

understand. and we're living under occupation and they can choose what problems to buy or not and more and more consumers are choosing not to buy israeli products the regenerating in the settlements in palestinian territories they are seen by many as the foods of the occupation the word government has within it by god movement by god more. than our. distributors to carry benicio and products the problem is all in the way and it's difficult to make the products stand out from those families when systems. are products can't say made in palestine because we're under occupation and not yet a state they can say made in the west bank or made in gaza or a palestinian product. and for some companies like this palestinian pharmaceuticals company in the west bank it's even worse it can't even sell in its own backyard or whatever that's not the love to be of just love to be distributed in israel because . it's with. but it will be rejected

by the security is being restricted to the palestinian market is causing a glut and creating economic difficulties for the farmers but. everyone here grows olives and so the local market is very small in the competition big we don't get much money for either it is part of a bigger problem when the demand is there the occupation means more often than not farmers are prevented from gathering water or even getting to the land it means more than half of palestinian crops go to waste but there is hope in a corner of the remote city of janine this private company is helping farmers overcome their troubles and get into international markets can be our lives are processed pressed and stored as is an order comes through the oil is pumped up here from where it is oxfam bottled to international standards it appears demand is growing especially in the us we find that as much as much of the jobs and.

if you do find anything in specialty goods in the market. got a clue to what backlash on my going to get from bloggers in the marketplace this snag is that these products sell for almost double the value because of the cost of getting them to market the hope for producers here is that the supporters around the world would begrudge the few extra dollars for a bottle of olive oil and rather they'll see it as a gesture of support policy r t janine in the palestinian autonomy. and still ahead for you this hour one step forward and to stubb's by as the u.s. work for success in killing a major town about a leader in another drone attack experts believe this trying to damage rather than bring peace in the countries they target. russia's energy giant has joined the club of the companies coming literally under attack from greenpeace activists activists stormed in arctic platform owned by gas bomb and erected climbing talents

the protest ended after a few hours greenpeace has a running a campaign against training in the region and its main target so far has been shall and christopher williams has an environmental activist himself saying stead of greenpeace is targeting enemies that don't exist shell very keen to drill have been given allowances from the obama administration to begin an ex exploring the process it's opening up a whole new area for oil and gas drilling and mining which was previously closed to those things and also close to shipping many oil companies in the west on the east salivating over the prospects for. increasing their oil reserves through drilling in the arctic so it's not just about russia b.p. shell gazprom. all trying to open up the entire area for extensive drilling it's a tragic irony is that. climate change largely caused by fossil fuel production

largely caused by the drilling. oil is now facilitating more drilling for oil which is leading now to extra protests it'll be interesting i think to find out with greenpeace i would expect them to also be protesting just as vigorously western oil companies when they start drilling as they have been no occupying the guys from oil rig and i said take a brief look at what else is making headlines around the world this hour at least nine people have been wounded in indiscriminate police gunfire near the empire state building in new york it came after a fashion designer shot dead his former coworker these hidden sparked a blaze of police gunshots which also had bystanders the gunman didn't shoot at the police or thought his claim they had no choice but to open fire. hundreds of supporters and opponents of egypt's president have clashed in cairo throwing fireworks and projectiles at each other the anti-government protesters accused

president morsi and his muslim brotherhood party of a stepping forward t. and undermining parliament the angry crowds gathered in tahrir square which has become synonymous for egyptian protest since hosni mubarak was forced out last year . the e.u. appointed a u.n. representative to syria has said he's peace mission left him flattered humbled and scared a lot of. his previously undertaken similar tasks in the still volatile iraq and afghanistan made the statement during his first public speech since accepting the job previous and boy kofi annan abandons the mission due to a lack of international support for his initiatives and increasing violence in syria's protracted civil war. americas republicans and democrats are getting ready to put the election battle to the motto as the presidential race is about to go full throttle and one of the major events during the home strays in our party's convention is our she's a resident went into the streets of new york to find out if the gatherings are

really as decisive as the need to present them. in the u.s. republicans and democrats are about to hold their conventions to kick off the presidential election fever and so one of these conventions even do this week let's talk about that you're throwing your eyes i say convention not into that stuff why are you into the politics of all crooks yet but we have to choose right all crooks what are the conventions do do you think what do they do they were so out of money . but they do good for media purposes because they can create a lot of hype around certain condit so yes i think they do too so we really need more hype. in today's world yeah because kind of politics has become my show business hasn't it but it has in the u.k. a bit the purpose of the convention i would assume is to make people more interested in give them more information about their candidate so they can vote for

them do you need more information i think people already make up their minds without too much information as it is and that's one of the problems do you spend a ton of money on it just by sheer do they are an avatar as we can prize on the news and then it stops at a certain time and then from then on it's business as usual so we don't do this where you have to start to start and i think that i think you just said the key word business i think there's a lot of money on the table in american ballot there and that's a bit of a worry is that because that would then for the truth. if they put money into the numbers and i want something out of a donor but i think the whole political process is crazy the amount of money they spend on ads and different things it's just ridiculous and it's not truthful the ads are generally false fake and just you know don't really serve any purpose it's a lot of waste of money for the taxpayers yet who do you think is going to get dirty or romney or obama. romney who do you think is going to win. why. because of mitt romney he doesn't appeal within like either you don't like you

there was or i think there obama doesn't do it and so my point of view i think will get a second term in. you think you're going to end up in you know organising a good job for you goes republican so i don't republicans shoot you can ever programming. no choice. that sounds real like that we are. in whatever you choose to do with it whatever like president you have to choose it's going to make a huge influence on the world it's not just on the american people but it's actually on the world that we have more responsibility absolutely no matter what the conventions do or don't do the bottom line is the media is going to try to make them seem really really important so grab your popcorn the media is there get it's just about to start. but the conventions the nearest to which starts in just two days are being seen as big events for the u.s.

protest movement which has planned several rallies they outsource to respond with tightened security measures including drones patrolling the skies and jarrad was an activist planning to launch on the republican national convention believes police are gearing up for war against a peaceful march. we're demanding good jobs health care for village occasion equality and peace came with that this city the state police are gearing up for the war they're the ones who are using drones drones are only makes the series you use for surveillance and the wars overseas and all we're doing is having approached this what is being done here is a protesters are being branded as terrorists every time in this country people get together people unify in a mass movement they are heavily were pressed by the state and the police and that's exactly what they're doing now if you look at any protests. people getting nasty instruction where is the violence always come from the rounds is always

coming from the police we don't endorse the demonstrations we don't and in sources other part we're tired of the one percent we're tired being face we're tired of the wars overseas in the systematic attacks on just about every person in this century . what's notable about this election is that the sheer amount of money the buzz the frontrunner candidates are able to raise and spend but when you look at the amount of sayings they are buying it's no surprise as you can find out at home they could be easier is really matter to us presidential candidates denied buying twitter funds while a new tool show zombie followers eagerly washing the election. and also online more than eighty people are arrested as violence breaks out after a racially charged football match in moscow that turned a much more. a

major militant who you do is believed to have been killed in the latest u.s. drone attack in northwestern pakistan that claimed the lives of eighteen people the region is said to be holed bad or violent groups such as the taliban but a former intelligence officer antony shafir believes drone attacks people force impression of progress while damaging security in the countries they used. this administration has become almost addicted to this form of warfare it's hands off it's clean you don't see the results and frankly it's giving this false premises a false perception of progress we're not killing the right people and by the fact we can't get the right people by the fact you're shooting through a soda straw at a target hundreds of miles away you creating the next generation of enemies because i tell you right now i don't know this for

a fact but of those eight hundred folks killed probably two thirds of more innocent civilians just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time the very folks who are after our now going against our ally the pakistani government the taliban that the pakistani taliban are now destabilizing the pakistani government these drone strikes are helping encourage that so we are helping to stabilize the very ally we're looking to have help us again the secondary effects are very clear here that we are destabilizing the region that we're dealing with and the government is trying to we're asking to help us after a. brief recap our top stories short. i

think going on of the song.
